Lisbon: Centered on Portugal’s capital, Lisbon, continental Europe’s most westerly city and its new “capital of cool." Legend say the city was named for and founded by Ulysees more than 2,500 years ago, Lisbon is home to 2 million Portuguese, to cathedrals, churches, museums, galleries and one of Europe’s “hottest” restaurant-fashion-nightlife scenes. The Lisbon region is also home to classic Atlantic resorts of Estoril and Cascais, and to historic Sintra, Obidos, Mafra Tomar, Satarem, and Alcobaça. Here too is Fatima, a major site of Roman Catholic pilgrimage since 1917.
